Did you know we don't use tape measures at Bravissimo? Instead we fit by eye as knowing how a bra should look and feel is the best way to find your most comfortable fit - here's how…
How do you know if your bra fits right?
1
How should your band fit?
Most of the support comes from the underband. It should be horizontal around your body without riding up or digging in. We recommend fastening a new bra on its loosest hooks so that you can tighten it if it stretches over time.
2
Where should the underwire of a bra sit?
The underwires in your bra should sit flat on your ribcage (not your boob!) all the way round to your armpits. The wires between your boobs should lie flat against your chest without digging in, rubbing or poking out.
3
How should a bra cup fit?
Make sure your boobs are fully in the cups – a bit of a scoop, wiggle and jiggle usually does the trick! You should fill the cups without any bulging or wrinkling even in a lower-cut style and there should be a smooth line, with no ridge, where the top and the side of the fabric ends.

Absolutely the best ever - after 30 years of keeping fit with 32GG chest at last a sports bra that works. When are you going to make sports tops for running?

Review by Ceri on
Bought this as so many reviews said it was the ultimate sports bra. I'm breastfeeding and so really need support during sports. Underwire came out after first wear. Wished i'd read more reviews as this seems to have happened to a few people. It seems to have worked itself through the fabric during exercise. Extraordinary. Very poorly made. Don't buy.

Review by Eugenie on
Without a doubt, this is the best sports bra I have owned. I found it true to size, extremely comfortable and very supportive. I have used it for boxercise, Zumba and jogging and it reduces bounce to such a degree that I don't think about it at all when moving about. It gives a far more flattering fit than other sports bras I have tried and has none of the 1960's pointy boobs under your armpits thing going on that some non-wired sports bras suffer from (e.g. Freya Active).

Review by Mina on
I am size 32 GG and I found this bra to be so comfy that I wear it every day at work but the sim came out after 2 weeks , even before I wash the bras ( although I wash them by hand) , So Bravissimo please pass on this comment to Panache there is surely something wrong with these sport bra that the sim comes out from the front top of the bra towards your neck!
I would have bought them if it wasn't for this fault.Please Please sort it out!

I bought this in my usual size, 32G, but it was too small. The straps at the back was sooo tight it hurt and was hard to breathe. I needed help to put them together. Sent it back for a bigger size. Don't know if anyone else had a problem with that. Besides that I think it's going to be a great sports bra. Felt like it had great support. Hoping for the best!

Review by Maria on
Very impressed with this item. Had previously tried on the No 1 Shock absorber sports bra in another store which provided no more support than my regular bra. The panache sports bra not only is a comfortable fit but also gives ultimate support and allows your skin to breathe unlike other sports bras I have tried in the past. Perfect for running as holds you in place well. The size tends to be true to size as I am a 28H to 28HH and the 28H fitted perfect. Make sure when trying this item on that you have it fitted tightest on the last set of hooks as at least over time as the back strap gives a little, you can put it on the next set of hooks to tighten the back up again, giving you more wear out of item. I feel like buying a few more of these as they are so good but don't think I will need to as it looks as though it will last a long time. Well worth the money.

Review by Fiona on
I bought this as I wanted to try the Couch to 5K programme and to start jogging/running. I went out for the first time this morning. I have to say when I tried it on I wasn't sure it would do the job but it was great, I didn't feel like I was jogging at all - well in that department anyway the rest of me did!! I would highly recommend this, I'm a GG and I remember a time when you could even get sports bras in my size, so glad you can now, if you need a sports bra and you are a large cup size I would recommend this every time!
